I do remember the California slogan in an earlier water crisis: If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down. snailgate. I'd heard that was a reference to former governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown. https://www.picgifs.com/emoticons/smileys-and-emoticons/cycling/smileys-cycling-022395.gi...

Moves pretty good for a 79-year-old geezer with bone spurs....

I was just thinking about that phrase (a day of infamy) yesterday, recalling that FDR stated that December 7th, 1941 would be "a date which will live in infamy" after Japan launched an attack on a territory of the US, and I was wondering why the attack by the US on the capital of a SOVEREIGN NATION ...

New coins commemorating the — let me see ... the SE-MI-QUIN-CEN-TEN-NI-AL (I think that's right!) of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the de facto beginning of the USA are reportedly going into circulation today.   The special coins, which were authorized back in 2021 in anticipati...

1938 - 1930 — Germany invades Czechoslovakia under orders from Hitler, ostensibly to 1) unite ethnic Germans in Czechoslovakia with their homeland (using false claims of mistreatment ass a pretext), and 2) acquire its valuable industrial resources and strategic territory (the Sudetenland). September...

I listened to a few minutes of his press conference this morning - I couldn't stand more than a few minutes and turned it off. He was talking about the Monroe Doctrine as if he had just heard of it (and he probably had - although his fifth grade teacher probably told him about it, little Donny wasn...

I took it upon myself to move the comments following Trump's assault on Venezuela from the "There's Always a Tweet" thread to here so as not to be accused of diluting that thread. And meanwhile he sends US troops into a FOREIGN, SOVEREIGN nation and kidnaps the president of said country. — or, to qu...

And meanwhile he sends US troops into a FOREIGN, SOVEREIGN nation and kidnaps the president of said country. — or, to quote Trumpty-Dumpty's own words in his post on the social media site formerly known as Twitter, "has successfully carried out a large scale strike against Venezuela and its leader, ...

Hope everyone here survived last night's partying, and will still be around on 12//31/2026 — yes, even liberty — to welcome in 2027.

Just curious — on some older cars, like mid-sixties Chevys and my old '69 Plymouth Fury, the filler was in the back hidden underneath the license plate.   Do any modern vehicles still have the cap located in that area, and if so, would the arrow be positioned under the pump icon and pointing downwar...

I give Zelenskyy full marks for restraint.   MY reaction would have been more along the lines of this — https://64.media.tumblr.com/7f4db151e6e22a321da3a66adc65c8be/tumblr_inline_mzvnpuD8iF1rerjaz.gif https://www.picgifs.com/emoticons/smileys-and-emoticons/cycling/smileys-cycling-022395.gif -"BB"-

Ukraine Sees the Future of Naval Warfare. Trump Doesn’t. The balance of power is shifting toward cheap drones and away from expensive ships. Worth a read. Back in 1907, Teddy Roosevelt sent The Great White Fleet, a group of sixteen US Navy battleships, on a two-year circumnavigation of the globe to...

Open mouth, insert foot, and chew vigorously.   From Trump's posting on ''Half-Truth Social' — ... And then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so. Of course, this means that he DOES admit to kno...

It would never be the USS Trump unless 1) it included a golf course 2) all the brasswork was replaced with gold fittings 3) the final cost was at least three times the original estimates...   but that wouldn't be a problem, as Trump would immediately declare that he'd be making either the Russians o...

I don't think he's thought this through. (No surprise there.). Every state sends a boy and a girl. (What about DC? And Guam??). California has 11.8% of the US population. I suspect that simple arithmetic suggests that CA will come top of the medals table. Blue states will probably do better than re...
